What a lovely day its been. I woke up (later than i would have liked) and felt inspired to paint. Ive been trying to paint or create on a regular basis now, and so far so good. I love the feeling that I get when I accomplish a painting, or even just start one. It makes me happy to do the things that I love. It gives me this rush of feel good energy and sometimes inspires me to create other projects. Lately ive just been experiementing, figuring out what I like and what works for me. Ive tried a couple of new techniques and bought some new supplies. My favorite right now is using my mini-misters. I dont have any stencils, but they will soon be on the "to buy list" as well as the adirondack spray inks! I WANT THOSE SOOO BAD. why doesnt michaels or joann fabric sell them!? ohhh well. it will be well worth the wait. I did however pick up the Adirondack alcohol ink...dont quite know how to use them yet. I did put a little bit into one of my mini misters, but its not really the consistency or color that i was going for.
One thing i really want to work on is drawing and writing on journal pages. I feel like thats where i just stop. Maybe I have a fear of not letting myself just go with the flow. I feel like if I write on it or draw on it, somehow someway i will ruin what i just made. But that is part of the process, part of experiementing. Samantha Kira over at www.journalgirl.com had a wonderful inspiring post on drawing in art journals yesterday. It made me want to just let loose and let the fear go. So that is going to be something that i will work on.
On another note, I just made a new journal. Its going to be my journal of dreams and gratitude. I would like to start remembering my dreams, and figuring out what they are trying to tell me. I have done this in the past, and its worked quite well. So time to do it again. Also, I want to write down what im grateful for and things that I love. I want to be more in touch with who i am and enjoy life to fullest.
Well, thats it for now. Off to get ready for a wine locker event that the lover and i are attending tonight!
Lots of Love
